Key Points from Speakers
“There are many no-cost and low-cost actions companies can take, such as turning things off or modifying a procedure. You don’t have to spend millions of dollars replacing all your equipment or light bulbs. We focus on helping companies and operations change their behavior, examine how they do business, and implement simple measures that save money.”
Tad Radzinski, Sustainable Solutions Corporation
“We always say to our members, one of the first things to do is to look at your air compressors and check for leaks, because there's always something going on there.”
Kate Caddy, ISPA
“Even if sustainability seems overwhelming, just change the narrative. You don't have to call it sustainability, you could just say, we're going to be more resilient and more efficient. We're going to manage the risks that are within our operations and our supply chain.”
Nicole Meyer, Sustainable Solutions Corporation
